Urban Tree Cidery Original

Review of Urban Tree Cidery’s Original variety, described as a European-style dry cider. It is my first time trying any of their ciders, and I sampled their current flagship line-up of three ciders all at once.

>>This is a review of a sample bottle provided to Cider Says by Urban Tree. Although I will take care to treat it the same as any other review, there is always the potential for bias as I received it for free. The only consideration I knowingly made was pushing this up in my cider review cue. I love free stuff, especially cider! Want your cider or cider-related product reviewed here? Contact me.<<

Cider Description:Our original cider is dry, yet crisp, with subtle notes of apple sweetness, the way traditional European-style cider is designed to go down. Crafted from bittersweet apples and with less than .5% residual sugar, it boasts of tannic and acidic notes. For a real taste of the old country, pour yourself a glass and enjoy.

Cidery Description: At the core of Georgian pride and Atlanta’s spirit live the seeds of change. A new legacy is rising – challenging the conventions of good taste and fine drink.

Urban Tree was founded by a husband and wife in 2015, opened a tasting room in 2016, and is described as Atlanta’s first cidery. They use local apples from the Cathey Family Orchard in Mountain City Georgia.

My Opinion: I liked it. Very interesting, as it was tangy, but not really tart or sour. Slightly Farmhouse-style, with the tang, citrus notes, and hints of sourness. The scent was quite different from the taste.
